I agree to engage in an "eco-action” on behalf of the animal I am "adopting" and keep my "marked" stone (I marked with the longitude where this animal struggles for survival) in a conspicuous location to serve as a daily reminder to engage in sustainable practices. By completing this online form, I also agree to release all rights to artist Xavier Cortada, thereby allowing the artist to use the my name, the photo, text, content and information provided by me in any way he deems fit.

Thank you for collaborating in this participatory eco-art project.

Which animal are you adopting? *Try to find an animal that intrigues and inspires you, or an animal that you have some connection to—maybe you share a homeland, or maybe you have traveled to the animal’s natural habitat. By acting locally, you can help protect the habitat of your adopted animal wherever it lives on Earth.

Longitude *Find the longitude associated with this animal on the project website (http://www.xaviercortada.com/?EW_species)

Scientific name of speciesThis site contains information about 360 endangered species—one for each longitudinal degree on the globe. This represents our "Endangered World” and the serious threats to biodiversity.

Take some time to browse through these animals in the "360 endangered species” section of this site.

Why adopt this animal?Why do you want to adopt this animal? (Please note especially if you are from the country where the endangered animal lives or if you have visited that country and/or seen this animal firsthand.)

Pledge an eco-actionWhat “eco-action” can you pledge to take in your own life to address global climate change and the disappearance of this species?

Think about the factors that threaten your animal’s survival. Since many of these animals are suffering on account of global climate change, your action may be aimed at reducing your carbon footprint—making an effort to ride a bicycle to work, or make your home more energy-efficient.

There is no action too big or too small. If you’ve never taken steps in your personal life to fighting climate change, then baby steps are welcome. We encourage you to aim high, but whatever it is, just make sure you can do it. Big projects are grand, but they don’t mean anything if they don’t get done. Make sure to make a pledge that is not going to fall by the wayside.

Upload photo of 'marked' stone *Please submit photo of marked stone (close up image of the stone with the longitude number on it visible) on white background.

Upload photo of eco-actionUpload the photo you took of yourself (with the "marked" stone in your hand) as you engaged in the eco-action on behalf of your "adopted" animal.
